Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

[Tommy Chong]

Wow, what a message of unity

Yeah, but I'm sure in Trump's deluded head:

If Trump's 'winning', then there's seriously something f'ining wrong with the scoreboard!
And if he's 'winning', he's definitely not sitting in at a criminal court case pertaining to financial fraud, FFS.

Ill believe it when I see it.
Let's hope she pulls it off. Talking about policy would be a good start.

She looks like a weak candidate to me.

Newsom would have beaten Trump. Now we just have to hope Harris mops up efficiently the ABT voters.

She looks like a weak candidate to me.

Given the circumstances, she's probably the strongest they have. A switch to anyone but Kamala, if she wasn't amenable to it, would have been disastrous.

I keep hearing that. It sounds like a threat that black voters will stay away in droves if she's passed over.

Does she even overwhelmingly identify as African-American? I always thought she hyped up the Indian side of her family more and that black-Americans didn't necessarily identify with her.

Well, that went a direction I didn't expect

 

[tsubaki]

And here we have it. An ad already hitting Kamala on this very issue:

I am not sure that portraying Harris as the mastermind is the winning strategy they think it is.

 

[davek]

You dont think these things matter or are relevant?

 

[Prevenger17]

You dont think these things matter or are relevant?

Not really tbh. The people those things matter to will vote Trump. I was referring to the implications for campaign funding and that the selection of any other candidate would probably stick a gigantic wedge into the Democrats at a time when they just need to be unified and show up. Harris was always the only alternative and that decision was made 4 years ago.

Has she been picked as the successor? If so who is her VP?

You really enjoy pushing the MAGA agenda dont you Dave??


“So I was born in Oakland and raised in the United States except for the years that I was in high school in Montreal, Canada,” Harris replied. “And, look, this is the same thing they did to Barack (Obama). This is not new to us. And so, I think that we know what they are trying to do.”

As for being Black, she put it plainly: “I’m Black, and I’m proud of being Black. I was born Black. I will die Black, and I’m not going to make excuses for anybody because they don’t understand.”

Yeah, I'm very MAGA.

 

[Goat]

Yeah, I'm very MAGA.

You just seem to come up with the same MAGA talking points.
